Innaccurate. In a word.

It's slightly better than the normal nut position but nowhere near good enough to warrant all the mucking about you have to go through just to change your strings.

You need Strobesoft to tune your guitar. All the accepted methods and most tuners go out the window.
The system used dismisses the main problem of low fret intonation. (No you can't put it right at the saddles). All it does is move every strings break point forward towards the bridge by the same degree. Whilst that gives the perception of better in tune chords at the low end of the guitar. Their nowhere near right. Infact the whole premise that different thickness strings bend to a greater or lesser degree, causing the problem in the first place is completely ignored. So you're no better off than having just a standard position guitar nut.
The Earvanna is much better, but still very generic. Though the better Earvanna nut slides on 2 runners allowing you to position it somewhat. You can't blame em for it. When you're knocking out 5000 nuts a day you cant make every one right for every guitar. The only real way you can do that is to get the guitar in and measure the offsets needed. Then carve a nut for it.

All in all. If I had my time again, it's not a rabbithole I'd go exploring. You can never attain perfection (modern music is wrong). You'll drive yourself crazy trying and everything sounds out of tune when you've spent a year trying.

Lots of good reading on it here.
